An example of suppression and silencing is: twitter! https://lidblog.com/twitter-censors-conservatives/ https://lidblog.com/twitter-censors-conservatives/. There are, of course, many other examples. Twitter silenced the hunter biden scandal at election time. The story turned out to be true and could have swung the election. Youtube has been restricting, shadowbanning and explicit banning conservatives for a long time as well: https://www.prageru.com/petition/youtube https://www.prageru.com/petition/youtube https://summit.news/2022/01/27/youtube-bans-another-prominent-conservative-over-video-questioning-effectiveness-of-masks/ https://summit.news/2022/01/27/youtube-bans-another-prominen... Open lying is harder to prove. Who admits they openly lied? But we can at least show many, many, examples of leftist media being factually incorrect. Here's one: https://www.city-journal.org/exposing-the-washington-post-on-critical-race-theory https://www.city-journal.org/exposing-the-washington-post-on.... Here's another fun one: https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/01/media/washington-post-new-york-times-retraction-giuliani/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/01/media/washington-post-new-yor.... It's always great when all the falsehoods are attributed to "anonymous sources". A culture war is fought by winning hearts and minds, one by one, and also taking back influence, institutions, and power. A non-leftist political opinion would be that the 2020 riots were worse for our country than January 6. an NFL coach recently got fined $100,000 and faced severe backlash for expressing this opinion: https://www.dailywire.com/news/nfl-coach-jack-del-rio-apologizes-to-team-after-getting-fined-deleting-twitter-account-over-jan-6-remarks https://www.dailywire.com/news/nfl-coach-jack-del-rio-apolog.... At least he didn't lose his job, yet?
